Rose - Jubilee Celebration

Common Name:
Jubilee Celebration Rose

Description:
The 'Jubilee Celebration' rose is an opulent English shrub rose bred by David Austin, created to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II’s Golden Jubilee. This variety is admired for its large, domed blooms in a rich salmon-pink with golden apricot undertones—often described as having a subtle, glowing quality. The flowers are deeply cupped and have an old-world rosette form with a strong, fruity fragrance that blends lemon and raspberry notes. 'Jubilee Celebration' is a repeat bloomer, providing generous flushes from late spring through to autumn. The plant is upright and well-branched, with healthy, dark green foliage and strong stems that hold the blooms aloft. In Melbourne, it thrives in a sunny position with well-drained soil and benefits from regular pruning and feeding. Its vibrant colour, fragrance, and form make it ideal for mixed borders, feature planting, or large containers, adding a regal elegance to any garden.
